The Telecomsemea Infra Project (TIP) is a global alliance of forward-thinking organizations working together to reshape how telecom infrastructure is built and deployed. Our mission is to drive the future of connectivity by fostering innovation and accelerating the adoption of next-generation technologies. Since our launch in 2016, TIP has evolved into a vibrant network of hundreds of members — including service providers, tech manufacturers, system integrators, startups, and academic institutions. United by a shared vision, we are breaking down barriers, enabling high-quality connectivity, and transforming the telecom industry worldwide.
Core Connectivity Hubs
Access
The Access project groups are developing cutting-edge technologies, infrastructure, and approaches to expand internet access worldwide — reaching even the most remote communities. Their focus is on eliminating key barriers that hinder the last-mile connection to end users.
Transport
As network traffic continues to grow exponentially, efficient backhaul has become more critical than ever. Our Transport project groups are reimagining transport infrastructure by separating hardware from software — a move that enhances scalability, promotes vendor diversity, and drives down the total cost of ownership. This flexible approach enables smarter, more sustainable network growth.
Core &Services
Operational and maintenance expenses remain the largest cost drivers in network management. The Core & Services project groups are tackling this challenge by streamlining core network architecture — enhancing efficiency, boosting flexibility, and significantly reducing both capital (CapEx) and operational (OpEx) expenditures required to maintain a high-performing network.
Access
The Access project groups are creating innovative infrastructure solutions, technologies, and methodologies to bring more people internet access across all corners of the globe. Access is focused on removing some of the key blockers that make the connection to the end user difficult.
Backhaul
To keep the pace of exponential growth in network traffic, better backhaul is essential. Our Backhaul project groups are addressing the scalability, fast convergence, ease of configuration and extensibility challenges in wireless and wired backhaul.
Core and Management
The most significant costs associated with a network are the ongoing costs of operations and maintenance. The Core and Management project groups are simplifying the core network architecture and improving efficiency and flexibility while reducing capex and opex costs associated with keeping a network up and running.
